This dynamic architectural scene showcases Brown's masterful command of Impressionist and Fauvist influences. The artwork captures Cirencester's iconic parish church tower rendered in warm golds against a dramatic turquoise sky, with the historic market town's buildings creating a colorful tapestry below.
 
Drawing from his background as a professional visualizer, Brown's distinctive style is evident in his energetic brushwork and vibrant palette. Each bold stroke contributes to the painting's sense of movement and atmosphere, creating a piece that perfectly captures the lively character of this Cotswold town through his characteristic emphasis on light and color.

Drawing inspiration from Impressionism and Fauvism, Brown's distinctive style emerges from his background in visualization.
